Belonging to the prestigious Langhe denomination, this wine stands out for its elegant and enveloping profile. On the nose it expresses clear floral and fruity hints, with notes of rose, raspberry and liquorice, while on the palate it offers a \u003cstrong\u003efine\u003c\/strong\u003e and well-integrated \u003cstrong\u003etannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. Characterised by a \u003cstrong\u003efull body\u003c\/strong\u003e and matured in oak barrels, it provides a long, harmonious and persistent finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes destined for this wine come from the territory of Alba, nestled between the hills of the Langhe and Roero in Piedmont. The renowned vineyards of the Occhetti area, from which this historic wine has been produced since the seventies, enjoy an altitude of approximately 250 metres above sea level and a \u003cstrong\u003eperfect exposure\u003c\/strong\u003e to the south and south-west. The soil is characterised by \u003cstrong\u003estratified marine sands\u003c\/strong\u003e, alternating with layers of gravel and sediments of a clayey-calcareous nature. This particular geological composition is essential for giving the grapes \u003cstrong\u003estructural elegance\u003c\/strong\u003e and soft tannins, faithfully translating the nuances of the territory into the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProcessing begins in October with the careful harvesting of the bunches. In the cellar, following de-stemming and crushing, the must undergoes fermentation at a controlled temperature, accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e for about ten days. Malolactic fermentation is completed before the winter season, giving stability to the organoleptic profile. The evolution of the wine involves \u003cstrong\u003eageing in oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e and barriques for twelve months, followed by a further rest in the bottle for four months, designed to perfect the \u003cstrong\u003egustatory harmony\u003c\/strong\u003e before being released onto the market.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Interesting Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOcchetti\u003c\/strong\u003e is a historic wine from the \u003cstrong\u003ePrunotto\u003c\/strong\u003e winery, produced since the 1970s, and represents a true excellence of Piedmont.
